In case you don’t have it marked on your calendar, October 8th is National Pierogy Day. And we’re huge fans of these delicious Polish dumplings. But, sometimes, just baking or boiling isn’t enough. So we’re here to fill you in on three super-unique ways that Mrs. T’s recommends to eat pierogies.
PARMESAN MINI PIEROGY FRIES A basket full of mini parm pierogy fries? Say less (or yes?).
Ingredients
• 1 box Mini Classic Cheddar Pierogies or your favorite variety of Mrs. T’s
• 2 tbsp olive oil or truffle oil
• 1 tsp sea salt
• 1 tbsp chopped parsley
• 2 tbsp shredded parmesan cheese
• Nonstick cooking spray
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Spray both sides of the pierogies with nonstick cooking spray and place on baking sheet.
2. Bake pierogies for 16–18 minutes until pierogies are puffed and golden brown.
3. For best results, turn pierogies over halfway through bake time.
4. Sprinkle with sea salt, parsley, Parmesan cheese and drizzle lightly with oil.
